CTOnews.com March 14 news, Asustek IoT Internet of things Division in Germany's Embedded World 2023 (International embedded Exhibition) released a number of new development board products, one of the Tinker V is particularly eye-catching, is Asustek's first RISC-V architecture development board (previously ARM architecture).

RISC-V is an open instruction set architecture (ISA) based on the principle of reduced instruction set computing (RISC), which can be applied to the required devices free of charge. Because of its openness, low power consumption and other advantages, it has been widely used in the field of IoT, and Asustek is the latest addition.

Asus Tinker V is equipped with a 64-bit RISC-V processor, Renesas RZ / Five, and 1GHz single-core Andes AX45MP, so its performance is not very strong. The board also contains 1GB DDR4 memory, microSD card slots, optional 16GB eMMC modules and SPI flash memory.

The interface of Asustek Tinker V is as follows:

2 x GbE Ethernet interface

1 x micro USB

1 x micro USB (OTG)

2 x CAN Bus bus (6-pin terminal)

2 x COM RS-232 serial port (5-pin terminal)

Asustek said the development board supports Debian and Yocto Linux operating systems, and CTOnews.com has not yet found pricing information.
